Custom Log Finishes
& Siding
The exterior of a log home is its first statement and its most important protection. We treat it as both.
The Exterior Is
the First Statement
Chase Construction's exterior work covers the full range of log finish and siding services — log siding installation, sealant work, preservative treatments, and specialty finish applications. This is detail work, and we approach it with the same discipline we bring to structural construction.
Before anyone steps inside, they see the exterior. In a log home, the siding, the chinking, the stain — these are not cosmetic afterthoughts. They are the material expression of the whole structure.
Already own a log home with failing chinking or weathered stain? That's maintenance work — see log home chinking & staining.
Materials and Methods
That Last
We don't use discount materials on luxury homes. Every product we apply to a log exterior is selected for performance in a mountain climate — UV resistance, flexibility through thermal cycles, adhesion to aged and new wood alike.
Custom Color and Finish Matching
On additions and retrofits, we match new siding to the existing exterior so the addition reads as part of the original home, not a patch. For new construction, we work with the design intent — whether that's a natural weathered look, a dark contemporary finish, or something that honors a historic precedent.
Application Standards
Finish work is only as good as the preparation behind it. We clean, prepare, and condition log surfaces before any product is applied. The result holds longer, looks better, and protects more effectively.
What a Finish Assessment Covers
- Siding profile, fit, and fastening
- Sealant condition at trim, corners, and openings
- Moisture penetration at checks and joints
- UV degradation by elevation and exposure
- Log end condition
- Previous product compatibility
Finish work that protects
your investment.
A log home is a significant investment — in time, resources, and intention. The finish work is what determines how that investment performs over the next decade. Done correctly, it extends the life of the structure and maintains the appearance it was built to have.
We provide custom log finishes and siding services for new construction, restoration, and maintenance clients across the Sun Valley area. If your log home's exterior needs attention — or you're specifying finish work for a new build — talk to us.
What to know about
log exterior finish work.
Can log siding be added to a conventionally framed home?
Yes. Half-log and dimensional log siding install over conventional framing — a common way to get the log home look on an addition, garage, or an existing framed house. We match the profile and finish to any existing log work so the new section reads as part of the home.
Can you match the finish on my existing log home for a new addition or repaired section?
Yes. Finish matching for additions and repairs is part of our restoration work. We sample, test, and adjust until the new section is indistinguishable from the original — or as close as the material allows.
